After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Third Brother Enters the House to Kill Lu Sheng

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan almost gasped in shock, only then remembering that tonight, Lu Sheng was wearing a red dress.

How could it be such a coincidence that the lights in the house would inexplicably explode and cause a power outage, and that Lu Sheng would just happen to be wearing a red dress tonight?

But now was not the time to think about that.

If Lu Ziye had been locked in his room before, judging by the state of the door, he must have had an episode by now.

What would happen if he went up to the fourth floor during his episode and entered Si Yan’s room to see Lu Sheng in a red dress?

Lu Jingyan couldn’t care about anything else and rushed towards the fourth floor: "Quickly, go upstairs, hurry!"

——

Treating Lu Youming’s wounds had taken a lot out of Lu Sheng.

So when Si Yan carried her upstairs, she felt somewhat groggy and didn’t even notice the figure hiding in the dark at the stairway on the third floor.

She was tired and needed to sleep to regain her strength.

Lu Sheng lay on Si Yan’s bed, closing her eyes. Soon after her brother left the room, it seemed the door was opened again.

The power had not yet been restored, only a small battery-operated night lamp by the bed emitted a faint light, illuminating the entire room.

Hearing the noise of the door, Lu Sheng thought Si Yan had come back to fetch something and called out, "Second Brother..."

However, when she opened her eyes, the person standing at the door was not Si Yan, but Lu Ziye.

"...Third Brother?"

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, puzzled, not understanding why Lu Ziye would suddenly come to a room on the fourth floor.

But as she looked up, she froze—Lu Ziye stood at the doorway, appearing very strange, his face gloomy without any expression.

His eyes seemed to be fixated on her, glaring with what seemed like murderous intent. Looking further down, in his right hand, he was actually holding a dagger gleaming coldly.

"Third..."

Lu Sheng’s pupils dilated in shock.

Before she could even utter ’Third Brother,’ Lu Ziye had already raised the dagger in his hand and lunged at her on the bed!

Almost in the blink of an eye, with a ’pu-chi’ sound, the sharp dagger had deeply pierced into the pillow under Lu Sheng’s head.

If Lu Sheng had delayed her evasive action by even a second, the dagger would now be embedded in her head!

"Third Brother, what’s wrong with you? You..."

As she dodged, Lu Sheng quickly climbed up from the bed.

She tried to communicate with Lu Ziye, but he seemed to not hear her at all.

His eyes looked hollow, his actions more like they were unconscious, as he directly pulled the dagger out from the pillow and then thrust it at Lu Sheng again.

Lu Sheng dodged while taking a deep breath, frowning deeply.

Why would this happen...

Since the first time she met her third brother, he had always been smiling and affectionately gentle with her, how could he suddenly charge into her room in the middle of the night to kill her with a knife?

Something must have happened, something unknown to her likely occurred.

But what should she do now?

The sound insulation of the Lu family was so good that the noise from the third and fourth floors couldn’t be heard in the living room on the first floor.

No one was likely coming to help; she had to handle it alone.

If it were someone else trying to assassinate her in the middle of the night, Lu Sheng would undoubtedly strangle them without hesitation.

But the person in front of her was her third brother.

The third brother who had embraced her fondly and called her little sister the first time they met, who had secretly sent her money after receiving a gift at the welcome party, who didn’t like crowds but was willing to sing at Shengjing for her sake.

Not to mention retaliating, Lu Sheng simply couldn’t bring herself to harm Lu Ziye, even though for some unknown reason, he rushed in determined to kill her.

"Third Brother, please calm down.

Do you know who I am? I’m Shengsheng, your little sister."

"Third Brother, look at me—!"

While trying to get Lu Ziye to regain his consciousness, Lu Sheng finally seized the opportunity to snatch the dagger in his hand, and in the next second, she pressed the dagger forcefully towards the window.

The window glass shattered with a crash, and the dagger also fell outside. Yet without the weapon, Lu Ziye didn’t give up but instead rushed over attempting to choke Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng, unable to dodge in time, was swiftly pressed against the wall by Lu Ziye.

Lu Ziye’s right hand tightly gripped Lu Sheng’s neck, his exceptionally beautiful peach blossom eyes appeared hollow, his originally delicately handsome face now looking horrifying.
